Shell coloration in many molluscs is highly variable. A shell color segregation study with progenies from a full factorial cross generated among Pacific oysters exhibiting distinct shell colors (golden, white and black) was conducted to investigate the inheritance of the golden shell color and its correlation with dark pigmentation. Random samples from twenty-three full-sib families were obtained and the shell coloration of offspring within each family was recorded. Results revealed that golden coloration was inherited in a different pattern from dark pigmentation, indicating its different genetic basis. Dark pigmentation was identified as a foreground color while golden or white color were background ones. The locus controlling background colors has two alleles with the allele for golden background being dominant to the allele for white background. In addition, the overlying foreground pigmentation of shells with a golden background was significantly lighter than that of shells with a white background, which suggested an epistatic effect of background color on shell foreground pigmentation. All these findings will facilitate the selection of elite oyster lines with desired shell coloration for aquaculture. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
